Second Date Update Sometimes it's possible that you can end up on a date that you never even meant to have happen. You know? Okay. Like one second, you think you're just having a good time out with friends. Yeah. And you turn around and boom, suddenly it's a date.

That actually happened to my girlfriend and she ended up marrying the guy. I swear to God, she called me the next day and she's like, Brooke, I think I was on a date with Alejandro last night, but I'm not sure. That's actually how Brooke tricked her husband into a marriage. She's like, here, put on this tux and hold these flowers. It'll be fun. And the next thing he knows, boom, he's riding a camel. He's saying, I do, signing legal documents.

People don't understand the camel. He did ride a camel. Every groom needs an entrance entrance just like a bride. Sure, okay. Well, something similar happened with one of our listeners named Penny. She says she went out on a date that she never intended on having. But I guess she had a pretty good time because she's reached out to us for help. So let's find out more about it.

Good, pleasant surprise. Hey, Penny, how's it going? Good, how are you? Doing good. I love these stories because, I don't know, it's just one more about it. Good. Pleasant surprise. Hey, Penny, how's it going? Good. How are you? Doing good. I love these stories because, I don't know, it's just one of those things. It's like, when you least expect it, it happens. And this is when it's actually true and not just annoying advice from your friends that are in a relationship.

So what's the name of the guy that you met? His name is Wes. Wes. Wes. Yeah. You said it in a way that you really like Wes. I do. I do like Wes.

How'd you meet him? I met him on a dating app, which, you know, normal, right? But here's the thing. Like, my friends and I, we made a fake profile. Like, the picture was me. We weren't catfishing. But, like, we made my bio, like, as ridiculous as possible, right? Oh, I've heard of this.

Like, where it's like you're almost just being funny the whole time and sarcastic and to see if you match with anyone what were some of the examples for example like we had um must like music about chicken chickens okay i can't think of a lot of those songs yeah very niche right and then like we had a inter extreme ironing extreme ironing so like ironing while you're like rock climbing this is ridiculous right so yeah if i'm a single guy funny sure but if i'm a single guy i'm swiping left on that i mean if you're actually looking for a relationship unless you see it and you're like actually this girl doesn't take herself too seriously and she's pretty funny.

Yeah, you get the joke. Or there's that one guy that just loves chicken songs out there. He's like, oh, my soulmate. Maybe that's who Wes was. Maybe. Chicken guys. Exactly. Well, so that's the thing.

I didn't expect anyone to match with me. Wes matched with me. And like, he seemed really cool. So, you know, like he asked me out on a date. And it was actually a really cool date. We went horseback riding. Oh, okay. So he stuck with the farm animal theme that you had set up.

Did you do any extreme ironing on the horse? No, no. Nothing like that happened. But something concerning the horse happened. Oh. What does that mean? Yeah. So it was going well.

Good banter, good conversation, right? And then all of a sudden, slowly, like, the horse wasn't, like, galloping or anything, but he just kind of fell off the horse. Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. You can, like, break bones doing that. You can break your spirit doing that on a first date. That is so embarrassing.

Oh, my gosh. What did you do? Well, you know, of course, I'm like, are you okay? Do you need help? And he's like, oh, no, I'm fine. It was a pretty, like, slow fall. And he... Slow fall. He got back on the horse.

Oh, wow. Oh, look at that. The saying's true. There it is. Look at that. Exactly. So did he make fun of himself, or was he humiliated?

Oh, no, he just kind of like laughed a little bit. Yeah, he was like, oh, time to get back on the horse. Okay, okay. So he found the lightness in the situation. Thankfully. Yeah, no, it ended up not being a big deal. Okay, what happened after that? So we finished our date and he drove me home

and he like gave me a kiss at the end of the night, which was great like i thought we had a good date so we text a little bit but it's not a lot and like he hasn't called me or anything and i can just tell something is not the same just in the way that we're interacting so that's that's why i called you guys dating now is terrible like you had a perfect time he kissed you like what more else could you want and then you still aren't getting a call back little chicken dance action exactly so i mean you've had some time to think about this since your date what's going on in your head what do you think may have gone wrong i mean all i can really think of

is maybe maybe he was just really playing it cool with the horse thing and he's really like embarrassed about it or maybe he really loves niche chicken music and the fact that i didn't bring it up during the day maybe that's the deal breaker i don't know that would be amazing if that was it. Is there any chance that when he fell off the horse, it was because you pushed him off? No. What? Wow. No, I was not even close enough to him.

I mean, if you could produce any tapes to verify if that's true. Oh, come on. Come on. I'm just saying crazier things have happened on these second date updates. Okay, that's fair. But when I carry around a camcorder, I'm taping him. Come on. Yeah, that'd be creepy. You could around a camcorder, I'm taping him. Come on. Yeah, that'd be creepy. You could shoot video

on your phone nowadays. I don't know. You get broken up sometimes. She's like, do I need to get a boom stick? Couldn't hurt. But anyway. I have my boom guy behind me. He's actually the one who pushed himself. Well, let's try

and get to the bottom of this. We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call Wes for you and try and get you your second date update okay thank you all right hold on if you're just tuning in we're on the phone with the world's extreme ironing chicken song loving enthusiast named penny which is weird because we've already had two of those on our show earlier this week. Penny's by far the bigger fan though. Good point, Jeffrey. She recently made a joke dating profile with some of her friends and filled it with a bunch of random funny hobbies and actually matched with a guy named Wes. That's where it must be. The two of them went out horseback riding together and had a really good

time even though Wes apparently fell off his horse. they still shared a kiss at the end of the night but now wes has fallen off more than just the horse he's fallen off completely yeah there it is other than a few texts here and there of course but we need to call him and get to the bottom of his mysterious disappearance part of me thinks he got way more hurt than you think. And he may still be dealing with like some back stuff. Like whiplash or something. He may be in a brace. Who knows? That would be awful.

Was the kiss at the end of the night, did you taste blood? Oh, jeez. I'm just saying if there was like a metallic thing happening, then maybe that's a good indicator. I did not, but that doesn't mean he wasn't internally bleeding. Okay, that's good news. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I want to get to the bottom of this for you.

Like, he should give you another chance. Totally. Unless he just wanted to hook up, but if he wanted to hook up, you don't go horseback riding. No. That is so much. Yeah. That is so much. You're sore after.

I just felt like there was good chemistry on both ends. And I really liked him. Like, I just, if I did something stupid, like, I want to know. Yeah. He liked Tinder you. So I guess you just have to see if he liked you you. True. Yeah, that's true.

All right. Well, let's find out. I'm going to dial his number and we're going to get your second date update. You ready? Okay. Yes, I'm ready. Okay. Here we go.

Hello? Hey, is this Wes? Speaking. Hey, Wes. My name's Jeffrey from the radio show Broken Jeffrey in the Morning. you doing um good that's good who's it who's that hi wes we're all here what's up wes yeah that's brooke you also heard jose and we are the group that makes up the morning radio show brooke and jeffrey in the morning yeah alexis is here too okay i'm kidding i'm joking sorry westally, she's not, but physically. We're a radio show, Wes. Yeah. I get that, but why are you calling me? Oh, man.

The laughs don't stop with you, do they, Wes? Well, we do a segment on our show called A Second Date Update. That's where if you go out with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back, you can email our show and have us reach out to that person for you to help you figure out the reason why okay okay uh is that person me well you're the person that's not calling the other person back yeah that sounds like a lot of people yeah it was not very well it is and i'm the person that's calling the person on behalf of the other person to see just get to the point jeffrey no that's good thanks for clarifying okay i just wanted to make sure. But no, the girl that emailed us about you, her name's Penny.

Ah. Ah, yes. Is that I remember Penny? No, I remember Penny. Okay. Are you purposely not getting back to her? I mean, we've been in correspondence every once in a while. Yeah.

But the vibe she's getting says you're not very interested. The word correspondence says I'm not very interested. That's not funny. We're not that funny, bro. See, that was Alexis' joke. That's why I just counted her. Yeah, we don't count her.

Turn her mic off. If you really want to know, to be honest with you, I think I liked her a lot more before we met. Oh. Oh, when you were texting? Why? Well, you know, on her page where we met, we met online.

I'm sure she filled you in on that and her profile page. She told us a little bit about it. Well, it seemed really adventurous. And I thought, why don't we have a fun time and do one of the things that is on her list and go horseback riding? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wes, you didn't think that her profile was funny? I didn't have elements of humor. Okay.

I mean, she told us about like the extreme ironing. I thought that was great i've never even heard of that i'd be into that oh okay she talked about it on the surfboard how do you even do that i don't know really hard that's a good question i guess that's why they call it extreme i don't know if i want to ask about the chicken song yeah she said that's true oh it's fantastic i racked my brain for hours trying to think of one. What'd you come up with? What'd you, like Farmer in the Dell? Where were you at?

Well, you know, growing up, I used to listen to some southern hip hop. And there's an old school hip hop song that had, you know, something. Oh, Chicken Head. I love that song. Whoop, whoop, chicken, chicken. Whoop, whoop, chicken head. Is that real? It's really great.

It's awesome. We'll play it. We'll twerk it. Oh, my God. OK. OK. Well. chicken head it's a really great it's awesome we'll play it we'll talk oh my god okay okay well you know anyway one of the things that she had on there was reverse horseback riding which if you've ever seen any movie that involves people shooting on horses that's the common thing i thought it was i said i want to learn how to do that so you know it's something that she likes to do she was in horseback riding.

And then I go and try it, and then I fall off the horse. Oh, that's how you fell off the horse. This is a lot. I was in transition. She said she flatly fell. Pieces are coming together now. You thought that she was being serious about all those hobbies. Who would put that on a profile?

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah. she was being serious about all those hobbies who would put that on a profile oh no Wes I am so sorry oh god yeah that's Penny I should have told you she's been on the other line listening and she wants to talk to you yeah Wes I am so. I never thought someone would think any of that was real. I thought it was so over the top, like so ridiculous. I am so sorry. Yeah, it was so extreme. I thought it was great. Oh, I feel so bad. So, wait, are you also saying that you don't do news rating?

No, I made that up. What's news rating? It's when you find out where news stations are going to hold newscasts and you go and you pop in the background. Oh, no. So you're trying to get on TV. Instead of a police raid, it's a news raid. I would love to do that with you.

This is a joke. I'm so sorry. Same with the backwards horse riding. That was just a joke. Oh, my God. I feel so badly. You feel badly? How do you think I feel?

You know, I see this great profile. It's something. This person sounds amazing. Didn't even do any of them. Penny, you completely duped him. No. You basically catfished him. No, it was a misunderstanding.

I did not think it was possible, but I am so sorry, Wes. Dude, I think, Wes, I mean, I think the important thing that you should concentrate on is not whether or not she loves songs about chickens, it's that you actually liked her. You kissed her at the end of the night. She said you guys seemed to have a

real chemistry when you were forward horseback riding. That's not funny. I'm not trying to be funny. I think she's being sincere there. Like, aside from all the quirky hobbies, don't you feel like you guys shared an honest connection? I mean, yeah, we shared a connection, you know, but the whole time that we're there, I'm anticipating her just jumping on the horse backwards and us riding off into the sunset together.

Well, I mean, the reverse horse stuff can still happen just on a later date. I mean, have you ever done that? Have you ever ridden a horse backwards? No, but I'd be willing to learn. I mean, I know a lot of our second dates end with reverse cowgirl, but this is the first one that's ever ended with reverse horseback. Yeah. Well, you know, maybe we can try both. I don't know.

That's the spirit. There we go. So with that being said, Wes, we would love to send you and Penny out on another date, and we'll pay for it. Yeah, I mean, now that she's come clean and everything, I'm willing to give it a try. Aw. That's so good.

All right. Thank you. There you go. Successful second date update. Congratulations, Penny. I really appreciate it, guys. Thank you. And I think there's only one fitting way to end this call.

I hope you're thinking what I'm thinking. I think so. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. What? Yes! Congratulations, Benny. Checking music.

Sounds okay, but overall, that's not funny. No. Of course not. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. To be your best every day, you need proven quality sleep every night.
